There is a new client out now 4.43

Some people have had problems updating the patch, but here is the place to download the new client.

Yeah, give it time, I'm only running this project on a [lest oft] used AMD 900Mhz processor._________________Listen; Strange women laying in ponds, distributing swords, is no basis for a system of government.

Bumping up the MUON1/DPAD thread and asking a question at he same time, if you please...

The site at http://stephenbrooks.org/muon1/?optim=*&team=[KWSN]&sortby=Mpts&user=*&oldness=0 would have you think the stats are updated practically instantaneously, yet some results I sent in a couple days ago have yet to be acknowledged... It HAS been months since my last Send, so maybe Mr. Brooks thinks I have forgotten the project...

Anybody know how often the MUON1/DPAD stats 'should' get updated?_________________

Stats are normally updated at the top of each hour.
Take a look in the sendlog file to see where the results went - some of the auxiliary ftp sites sometimes go offline for a few hours/days.
Also check your user config file to make sure it is still has the right contents_________________(Sir Furry - Occasional member of the Migratory Coconuts)

Thanks for the prompt reply SirFM! I wrote my user name wrong when I reinstalled MUON1!

I did the same thing, one of my boxes had dashes in the name and it put in over 50k before I noticed._________________a.k.a. Licentious of Borg.........Resistance Really is Futile.......

PS- You passed the Smurfy one's sign-up mistake ([KWSN]Sir-Papa-Smurph), you have a ways to go to pass ([KWSN]Sir Papa Smurph)

PPS- To make life easier on this project, you can set
Auto-send results ([Y]es, [N]o): N
and then use the Windoze task scheduler to run manualsend.bat once a day (assuming you produce enough results to justify running it once/day)._________________

Why exactly do the WUs for these have to be run 5 times before they can create any results that are usable? I can understand running it twice or having someone else cross check it to validate it, but me running the same test 5 times to get credits once??

NI! It could drive people crazy to keep running it like this and get no credit forever_________________

What exactly do you mean Sir P ?

If you mean on a manual send you see it "parssing" 5 times or more , this is normal .
An i7 2600k with 4 cores and 4 threads will do ~250,000/day , so a single core and thread @ ~2.0 giggles will do ~ 30,000/day .
Muon does not as such have WU's , rather just an ongoing "results.txt" file that is continuesly updated on auto-save (depends on speed of box as to when , but ~ every 1,000 points) . This is the file that is sent to CERN , either automaticaly "Net" or manualy "NoNet" .

PS: Just checked the Muon site , and you are not in the KWSN team .
You should have this [KWSN] in front of you user name (Inn the user.txt file in the Muon directory) . I.e. , mine is [KWSN] Grizzly_________________Oh Bugger Forgot again - or is it Oh Father Reboot again ?
